passage 2 x~tQYK
High-speed Living has become a fact of life andthe frantic pace is taking its toll,according to science writer James Gleick.It’s as if the old“type A”behavior of a few has expanded into the “hurrysickness ”of the many. rF3]AW(
“We dofeel that we’re more time-driven and time-obsessed and generally rushed thanever before”write Gleick in Faster:The Acceleration of Just About Everything,a surveyof fast -moving culture and its consfequences.We may also be acting morehastily,losing control, and thinking superficially because we lie faster. 1:UC\ WW
Technologyhas conditioned us to expect instant results.Internet purchases arrive bynext-day delivery and the microvave delivers a hot meal inminutes.Faxes,e-mails,and cell phones make it plssible—and increasinglyobligatory—for people to work faster.Gleick cites numerous examples oflast-forward changes in our lives:Stock trading and news cycles are shorter;sound bites of presidential candidates on network newscasts dropped from 40secinds in 1868 to 10 seconds in 1998 ; and some fast-food restaurants haveadded express lanes ' PYqp&gJ
High expectations for instant service makeeven the brief wait for an elevator seem interminable “A good waiting time isin the neighborhood of 15 seconds.Sometime around 40 seconds,people start toget visibly upset”writes Gleick.We’re dependent on systems that promise speedbut often deliver frustration.Like rush-hour drivers fuming when a singleaccident halts the evening commute,people surfing the internet squirm if a Webpage is slow to load or when access itselt is not instantaneous And the concertof “customer service”can become an oxymoron a wise fool; cruel kindness)forcustomers waiting on hold for a telephone representative. dvF48,kr
Up-tempo livinghas turned people multitaskers-eating while driving,writing an e-mailwhiletalking on the phone,or skimming dozens of television programs on splitscreen.Gleick suggests that human beings may be capable of adjusting to thesenew levels of stimuli as high-speed culture challenges our brains“in a way theywere not challenged in the past,except perhaps in times of war”.We may gain theflexibility to do several things at once but lose some of our capacity to focusin depth on a single task. \RyA}P5S

passage 3 w*xUuwi
Imagine a disease spreading across theglobe,killing mostly middle-aged people or leaving them chronicallydisabled.Then one day researchers come up with a drug that can prevent some ofthe disease’s nastier effects.You would think the world’s ageing public wouldbe eternally grateful. 0ij~e<
The disease does exist.It is called tobaccoaddiction.The drug too is real and in animal tests has prevented lung damagethat leads to emphysema.But the inventorshave received no bouquets Prevailing medical opinion seems to be that thedrug is a mere sideshow,distracting smokers from the task of quitting.Another experimentaldrug ,which could protect smokers against cancer ,is also viewed with suspicionbecause it could give smokers an excuse not to quit. G1;'nwf}
On the face of it these responses make sense.It is ingrained in society that smokers have only themselves to blameand their salvation lies in a simple act of will.If they will not quitsmoking,they cannot expect help from anyone else.
UQ.D!q
But thislogic is flawed.Check a survey of smokers and you find two-thirds want to giveup and one-third will have tried in the previous year.Yet,even with nicotinegum,patches and drugs to ease the ordeal,the quit rate is still under 10percent.In the UK , the proportion of people who smoke has not fallen in adecade.Tobacco has a powerful grip,and many smoker are caught in a trap theycannot escape:they have a disease like any other and deserve the chance toreduce the harm it does to them. ?}3PJVy?
Thisreasoning is hard for many to swallow.It certainly leaves governments andanti-smoking groups. They are happy to pay lip serviceto methods for reducing harm---of which three are agrowing unmber---but they are slow to create policies based upon them.EuropeanUnion countries,for example,look years to even consider regulating thedangerous additives in cigarettes. h$7Fe +#I#
One fearis that methods for reducing harm will dilute the message that tobacco kills---especiallywhen given to youngsters.But that message won’t change.In the present case,evenif both drugs turn out to work in human trials,they would not protect againstall the deadly side effects of smoking.And the drugs do not have to be free toall.They could be available only on prescription for people who doctors believegenuinely cannot give up. oD#<?
h)(
There arethings that no drug aimed at harm reduction will ever be able to be.It will notcut passive smoking or stop tobacco companies persuading millionsof teenagers to light up.For these reasons all other ways to counter smokingmust continue,from banning tobacco advertising to raising tobacco taxes.But itwould be a mistake to ignore the harm reduction measures.For those who are notconvinced,forget smokers for a moment.Preventive drugs could also helpnon-smokers,especially those working long hours,as,say,musicians and bar stallin smoky rooms.Should we deny them too? +>WC^s
